Yepper. I predict a 6% improvement next year.

RE: A little late, but some season ending basketball stat rankings
I wondered several times last season if our unwillingness to foul contributed to some of our opponents having very high shooting percentages against us. Sometimes it seems like it's better to commit a few more fouls early in the game to break up the opponents rhythm.

Good thought. Would you have described this past UAB squad as a physical team? At the right times? We rebounded, but were we really rough and hard-shouldered? Fouling smart? Going hard at opponents with the hot hand? Messing 'em up? Stopping a streak?
Any damn thing to stop the rain of threes that seemed to fall on us.

A little late, but some season ending basketball stat rankings
Early in the season, I thought we played more physically and aggressively. I felt that was the reason we won the UNC game. Our tenacity on both ends of the floor hid the athletic deficiencies around the perimeter. For whatever reason, we hit a buzzsaw in the early part of conference play and never recovered. Maybe we lost confidence or were too tired, but it seemed like the team wasn't playing with the same edge.
